Elbit Systems launches HattoriX fire support system

Elbit Systems has launched a new man-packed fire support system called HattoriX for passive, precise and rapid target acquisition, the company announced 29 November.

HattoriX is designed to enable tactical teams - including forward observers, forward air controllers, joint terminal attack controllers, reconnaissance teams, field intelligence and special forces - to rapidly and independently acquire Category 1 (CAT-1) targets with a tap on a touch-screen display. The system increases the effectiveness of engaging time sensitive targets while reducing collateral damage.

Interfacing with any EO payload of choice, HattoriX is comprised of a Goniometer, a mission computer, a touch-screen display unit and a lightweight tripod. It also includes a remote-controlled configuration for extended force protection.

According to the company, the system is already operational with an undisclosed client.
